Why? How would the existence of a Clannad dub affect you? Who's going to hold a gun to your head and force you to listen to it?
And why assume that a Clannad dub would be bad? When it comes to other Key shows, ADV's dubs for Air and Kanon 2006 were both good. If they'd gotten the same director back, I'm sure Clannad's would've been fine as well.

I agree really. The only ones who are allowed to complain about dubs are those that are forced to listen to them and hate them, or those that buy the R1s and have to pay a higher price due to the dub cost factored into the pricing of the DVDs >_>

Don't worry, I am. Note the :P on the end. But I wouldn't want to explain the whole joke.
As for "dubs make anime more expensive," the question is, "just how much more"? At typical rightstuf.com studio sale pricing, a $50 13-ep sub-only set (like what Nozomi sells) will sell for $30. A $60 Funimation dual-language set will go for $36. $6 / 13 eps = $0.46 per episode. Is that really such a burdensome extra cost to bear?
kureshii:
Could also think of it as the dubbing process adding 20% to the price, by the same measurement. I don't really care if there's an english dub track or not, as long as the DVD volume is at an acceptable price for me.
But if that 20% premium for dubbing is accurate, I'd be glad to have it waived; I'm still ordering and waiting on Marimite (4 seasons) and Aria (3 seasons) R1 DVDs, 20% of that is enough to buy another 1 or 2 series.
I understand that these R1 releases are primarily aimed at the N.American consumer market and so will always be tailored towards their needs, but as an “international customer”* who doesn't care much for American dubbing, I’d naturally pick the option that gives me what I want at a cheaper price.
* by international customer I mean “customer who has to read the International Orders part of shipping policies of any online retail site”
